I admire lawyers. Here's why. Let's suppose modern life is one big board game. Well, the lawyers are the only ones who have read and understand all the rules. The rest of us just roll the dice and take our chances. When you and I are dealt the Go To Jail card, we pay lawyers to find a rule to keep us out. We may not like it that the rules are so complicated that we couldn't possibly understand them without years of training; and that some (many?) make no sense at all (I can fuck my next door neighbor every day without punishment, but if I pay her we could both go to jail); but...BUT THE LAWYERS WRITE THE RULES TO THE GAME AND KEEP ADDING NEW RULES EVERY DAY!!! Fucking brilliant.

Turns out, even if people live nowhere near a clean source of water, as long as they have plastic bottles they can CREATE clean water. Basically, you peel the label off any plastic water bottle and fill it with standing water, as long as the water isn’t completely brown. Then place the bottle on top of a metal surface (for better heat conductivity) and leave it alone. Within six hours, the UVA radiation will kill parasites, bacteria and other harmful elements in the water, maki
ng it safe to drink.

I taught my neighbor's German Shepherd how to bark in Russian.
My personality is so magnetic that I am unable to carry credit cards.

In 1961, a twelve man Soviet crew was building a new base in the Antarctic. Mindful that being trapped in sub-zero temperatures for months on end required a medical professional to be on hand, one doctor had been assigned to the team. So what happens when the only man capable of performing surgery comes down with a severe case of appendicitis? He does what any reasonably minded person would do. Performs an appendectomy…on himself.
